SUPPORTER SPOTLIGHTS
Fishing derbies continue to make
a big splash for Pacific salmon,
with a growing number in British
Columbia supporting the Pacific
Salmon Foundation. In 2016,
derby proceeds ranged from
$1,000 to $50,000 per event.
Langara Island Lodge's annual
"Red Boat Challenge" hit an all-
time high this year, raising more
than $50,000! The annual fishing
trip brings together business
leaders who help raise funds for
salmon projects. Funds raised by
the group are generously matched
by Langara Island Lodge.
Crowdfunding for Salmon
Education
Education is a key tool in fostering an ethic of conservation
and appreciation for salmon in the next generation of British
Columbians. That's why Pacific Salmon Foundation supporters
Bill Watterson and Bob Kronbauer decided to launch a
crowdfunding campaign selling T-shirts and artwork featuring
graphics of spawning salmon designed by Watterson. The
campaign raised more than $10,500 in one month, introducing
many new supporters to the Foundation's work. To buy your
"Salmon Spawner" T-shirt in support of salmon education,
contact Susan Taylor at 604.664.7664 or support@psf.ca.
